You are what you do, not what you’ll say you do.The best advice I ever heard:
Pay attention to what people do and forget everything they say.You talk a good game, but I am watching how you play.
Actions always prove why words mean nothing.Silence is better than empty words.
The Truth doesn’t cost anything but a lie can could cost you everything.I don’t believe what you say, I believe what you do.
Don’t worry about what people say behind your back. They are the people busy finding faults in your life instead of fixing their own.
Fake Friends: Once they stop talking to you they start talking about you.Don’t fall in love with someone who says the right things.
Fall in love with someone who does the right things.Sometimes you don’t need to hear their excuses because
their actions have already spoke the truth.There is no better test of a man’s integrity than his behaviour when he is wrong.
Make sure that your actions and behaviour live up to and reflect the words and ideas, promises and commitments that come out of your mouth.
Don’t talk just act, don’t say just show, don’t promise just prove.A person’s actions will tell you everything you need to know.
Actions prove who someone is, words just prove who they want to be.I don’t trust words, I trust actions.
People say a lot so I watch what they do.The world is changed by your example and not your opinion.
Loyalty is hard to find, trust is easy to lose and actions always speak louder than words.Standing on the sidelines and criticizing is easy. Get in the game if you are man enough.Society has gotten to the point that everyone has a right but nobody has a responsibility.
Well done is better than well said.People reveal themselves through their actions.
Great people talk about ideas and pursue them, Average people talk about things, Small people talk about other people.
Your words mean nothing when your actions are the opposite.To believe in something and not live it is dishonest. Mahatma Ghandi.
What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say. Ralph Waldo Emerson.I, the LORD, explore the mind and test the heart, Giving to all according to their ways,
according to the fruit of their deeds. Jeremiah 17:10If you love Me, keep My commandments. John 14:15
